<p>SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners acquired left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday, giving their bullpen another arm as they make a playoff push.</p>
<p>Seattle sent right-handed pitching prospect Jeter Martinez to Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old Ferguson is 2-2 with a 3.74 ERA in 43 1/3 innings this season and joins a Mariners bullpen that ranks seventh in the majors in ERA at 3.74. Ferguson is making $3 million this year and is eligible for free agency after next season.</p>
<p>The 6-foot-3, 225-pound left-hander has a 3.69 ERA in 308 appearances over seven seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Pirates.</p>
<p>"We are excited to add Caleb and fortify our bullpen down the stretch," Mariners executive vice president and general manager Justin Hollander said in a statement. "He's been one of the most reliable left-handed relievers in the game and adds postseason experience to our group."</p>
<p>Seattle entered Wednesday in position for the third and final American League wild-card spot.</p>
<p>The 19-year-old Martinez has a 6.18 ERA in 16 starts for Class A Modesto. A native of Mexico, he was rated as the Mariners' No. 13 overall prospect.</p>
<p>The Mariners also designated right-hander Collin Snider for assignment after reinstating him from the 15-day injured list.</p>
